The most salient feature of Thursday’s trading was the key reversal put in by WTI. We greatly respect these formation although we have instances where they were faded. Nevertheless the weakness was brought on following James Bullard’s assessment that further easing is not implied by the recent data. Thus the immanency of the easing was removed from the market psyche. As we type WTI is testing its overnight low at 95.40. The storm in the Gulf still represents a threat. In fact, the threat is more pronounced this morning as the storm track has a more westward projection.

Moreover, the geopolitical scenario in the Middle East is anything but quiet. Thursday the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. told the But the Israelis cannot go it alone. They need U.S. support. Their aircraft cannot reach Iran and make it back. They lack the range. However the Joint Chief of Staff said essentially the same thing last week, His words, “there really is no room to negotiate with Iran. Iran has increased uranium production by moving facilities underground.

All of this combined with the WTI pattern suggest a bounce off the 95.40 level. However we look to sell the sharp rally. But we also feel that the products will be the strong suit for the complex. Therefore if one is bullish buy the rbob and if one is bearish or wishes to hedge the position sell the WTI against it.

CRUDE: Hi: 96.28; Low: 95.41

As stated above, our model indicates a test of the overnight low. It is likely that this will mean a drop to 95.60. The key downside pivot is 95.40. However, a break of 95.00 will unleash another torrent of selling. That will push it down to the weekly trend of 93.50. There will be minor resistance at 96.70 to 96.90.. While the true upside pivot is 97.30, we would use a stop above 97.00 to mitigate risk. But we look to take advantage of extremes in today’s trading. The extreme upside area pertaining to this game plan will be 97.75 to 97.90.

What our members have to say?

My name is Olga López. Only a few months ago I became interested in trading. I must confess that for months I was utterly frustrated while losing my trading account several times. I was about to give up when a friend of mine introduced me to Stanton Analytics.
Ever since I subscribed to their services not only have I recovered my account but now trading has turned into a pleasant experience. I look forward to receiving those daily insights that made me go from “hope trading” to “know trading”.

Risk Disclosure:Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative offuture results.Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
